Draft play-by-play

[redsrbetter]

Yonder!!!!!!!

Man, I got that right too!

[DirtyKash]

Reds take Yonder Alonso, 1B from Miami, 6'2, 215, one of the better hitters in the draft, really light feet, tremendous balance, an A-Rod protege!

Scouts say he's only a 1B. Reds take the best player available despite having Votto.

[redsrbetter]

I am happy with this pick. I don't think many Reds fans will be happy with us skipping on Gordon Beckham, but I think Yonder is the better talent to be honest. Great pick Reds!

[redsrbetter]

Gordo Beckham goes to the Chi Sox. I am still 100%

[Bon Bon]

That is amazing redsrbetter. Who do you think the Redsox will pick, Lance Lynn?

[Bon Bon]

Still on the money

[DirtyKash]

Nationals took Aaron Crow, RHP from Missouri, elite slider, great fastball topping at 98 mph, 43 inning scoreless streak and he's 13-0.

[redsrbetter]

That is amazing redsrbetter. Who do you think the Redsox will pick, Lance Lynn?

I am not too sure after 10. I missed just now though.

[redsrbetter]

Crow is one I wanted the Reds to stay away from because of his mechanics. He makes my arm hurt when I see his videos. But he still has a great ability to get hitters out with nasty stuff.

[redsrbetter]

Jason Castro baffled me to the Stros right now.

[DirtyKash]

Astros took Jason Castro, C from Stanford, not to be confused with the Jason Castro of American Idol fame. Needs to learn to handle pitchers, but he's smart, 6'3, 215.

They're saying that there is a big drop off at catcher after Castro, no one worth drafting until the late 2nd round.

[redsrbetter]

Smoak is still available; huge 1B bat that switch-hits. Projects to be something like Lance Berkman.

[Bon Bon]

What they just said about Catchers and Left handed pitching being at a minimum in the draft kinda reminds me of the SIM drafts.

[DirtyKash]

Smoak goes to Texas. Steve Phillips says he's a Mark Teixeira-clone with gold glove caliber, huge numbers from both sides of the plate. Gammons says he reminds him of Chipper Jones.

[HollywoodLeo]

Smoak is still available; huge 1B bat that switch-hits. Projects to be something like Lance Berkman.

Not anymore

The announcers were comparing him to Mark Tiexierra (sp?) and Chipper Jones.
